We had the pig dissection during class on April 27 and 28. The pig's organs are labeled as followed:
The brain is a major part of the nervous system. It's responsible for controlling and coordinating the body.
The lens refracts incoming light in the eye.
The heart supplies blood to the organs of the body.
The lungs give blood oxygen from the air and take away carbon dioxide.
The liver aids digestion by producing bile which converts glucose to fat.
The kidneys are behind the liver and the other organs. They filter blood and remove unwanted waste while absorbing important nutrients.
The stomach is connected to the small intestine and it's the location where food is held to be broken down.
